King of Assassins-Chapter 161 - 154: The Queen Arrives

Three nuclear bombs of two million tons each exploding could directly kill even a golden-level powerhouse.

Nuclear bomb technology is advanced, with multiple control methods.

Yan Qingge is very suspicious that the Yan family agreed to Blood Shadow’s demands so readily because they want to take the opportunity to kill Blood Shadow.

Yan Qingfeng was taken aback: "Miss, don’t say such things recklessly. If Blood Shadow hears it, it could cost someone their life."

After these few incidents, the Yan family is now afraid of Blood Shadow. They’ve employed some small tactics with the nuclear bombs to ensure they won’t explode in important areas. This is also a basic safety measure.

Detonation technology for nuclear bombs is very complex. Without the correct activation, the nuclear bomb cannot undergo a nuclear reaction to unleash its true power.

The Yan family also feels that the situation is still under control, so they agreed to the exchange so readily.

They had no intentions towards Blood Shadow.

A few nuclear bombs could kill Blood Shadow, but what if they don’t? What then?

The risk was too high. No one was willing to take the chance.

Yan Qingfeng explained the situation to Yan Qingge simply, ending with a warning: "You absolutely mustn’t speak recklessly about this; it’s not something to joke about."

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Despite saying this, Yan Qingge ultimately did not dare to speak recklessly.

She wasn’t afraid of Yan Qingfeng, but she was very afraid of Blood Shadow.

After several encounters, she was always completely overpowered by Blood Shadow. Blood Shadow had left a deep shadow in her heart.

She said what she said earlier to test her brother, worried he might do something foolish.

Yan Qingge was silent for a while before saying, "Blood Shadow has probably reached a level where he can sense danger and avoid it. Regardless of the methods used, as long as there’s harm to him, he’ll be able to sense it."

Yan Qingge believed Blood Shadow was a Silver Sword Hero, but dared not say it directly to her brother, only subtly hinting to Yan Qingfeng.

"We understand. This time it’s really just a normal transaction, nothing else."

Yan Qingfeng was a bit helpless; Yan Qingge was truly overthinking it.

The Yan family, such a large family, has its own think tank. They’ve repeatedly analyzed Blood Shadow as well.

Their ultimate conclusion was that Blood Shadow was too mysterious. Until they found a flaw in Blood Shadow, they wouldn’t take any further action.

This transaction was genuinely sincere, and they didn’t dare to play any tricks.

That night, Yan Qingge received another message from Blood Shadow, and once again, she went to the place they had previously met.

However, this time Blood Shadow did not show up. He just left a briefcase at the original spot.

As for the nuclear bombs, he instructed Yan Qingge to throw them into the Celestial Water River.

Yan Qingge felt a bit disappointed. She had great respect for Blood Shadow, but also extreme curiosity. She wanted more contact with him.

As a result, this time, Blood Shadow didn’t even show up.

Yan Qingge opened the case to check, confirmed that it contained those few marvels, and then took it back to the Yuanlong Company Tower.

Staying at Yuanlong Mansion was primarily for a sense of security. Blood Shadow had close ties with Wei Yue, so he probably wouldn’t come here to kill randomly.

Even Yan Qingfeng preferred staying at Yuanlong Mansion, also for that sense of security.

With Yan Qingge’s safe return and the successful transaction, Yan Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Though Blood Shadow always did what he promised, what if he reneged? They virtually had no means to deal with it.

Retrieving some important marvels for the family, Yan Qingfeng felt much lighter.

He said to Yan Qingge: "Come with me to Zhongjing tomorrow. Mingjing City is ultimately too dangerous."

If Blood Shadow went berserk and detonated a nuclear bomb in Mingjing City, it would be too dangerous.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall. Knowing Blood Shadow planned to stir things up, they certainly had to distance themselves.

Yan Qingge shook her head and said, "I want to stay a few more days."

Yan Qingfeng curiously asked, "Do you know something?"

"I don’t know anything."

Yan Qingge said seriously, "If I knew something this significant, I would definitely tell the family."

"Then isn’t it too dangerous for you to stay?"

Not wanting Yan Qingge to take risks, Yan Qingfeng said, "You now have the Silver Level Flying Swallow Swordsmanship, and the family higher-ups want you to return to pass on the sword."

"Didn’t I give you the electronic document?"

Yan Qingge said, "The Silver Level Secret Technique can only be comprehended by those who have reached Bronze Peak Level. Who could I pass the sword to if I went back?"

Yan Qingfeng said with difficulty, "But shouldn’t you have a reason for not wanting to return?"

"Simple, I just think Blood Shadow is planning something big, and I want to see the excitement. Maybe I can witness history."

Yan Qingge muttered to herself, "Blood Shadow wants the Dimensional Silver Mirror and three nuclear bombs, clearly planning to deal with a particularly powerful expert."

Yan Qingfeng remained silent. Indeed, the Yan family higher-ups had considered this, too. That’s why they readily handed over the nuclear bombs.

However, this is ultimately just speculation.

How to use the Dimensional Silver Mirror, no one really knows. Whether Blood Shadow is deliberately misleading them with his continuous actions is also uncertain.

In summary, there are too many uncontrollable factors.

Although Yan Qingge wanted to stay, she still received Yan Deyuan’s strict order, and the next day, she left with Yan Qingfeng.

Wei Yue didn’t know about the Yan family’s transaction with Blood Shadow, but he could clearly sense the tension within the Yan family.

Somehow, the atmosphere among Mingjing City’s upper class became notably tense.

Without any overt changes, an oppressive aura of an impending storm lingered in the air.

This atmosphere, however, didn’t affect the middle and lower classes.

Even Mingjing University continued with its daily teaching activities. The campus atmosphere remained relaxed and cheerful.

Gao Xuan also went to the Sword Dojo every day as usual for idle sitting, taking the opportunity to play his games.

Every day, numerous girls came to sneak a peek at Gao Xuan. Countless people tried to obtain Gao Xuan’s contact information.

The young girls had simple thoughts. They didn’t necessarily want anything to happen with Gao Xuan, but getting his contact information undoubtedly made them the focus of their social circle.

On campus, the simple and carefree life passed by quickly day after day.

During this time, the frequency of advertisements for Luo Jia’s concert increased.

On the projection screens at Mingjing University, clips of Luo Jia singing often appeared.

In fact, the advertisements started months ago, but as the date drew closer, the promotional intensity of Luo Jia’s concert strengthened.

In this era of diverse entertainment, people have countless ways to relax and have fun.

A giant star who could rule the world like in ancient times is becoming increasingly rare.

Luo Jia is undoubtedly a true superstar of the Pegasus Star, with an influence that spans all levels. Anyone who hears one of her songs will never forget it.

Luo Jia herself possesses strong charm that spreads like a super virus. She has a significant influence even in the Twelve Star Domain.

A concert by such a superstar, set at the Celestial Water Performance Hall, the largest in Mingjing City, can accommodate 500,000 attendees.

The tickets were sold out long ago, and everyone anticipates the superstar’s arrival.

The topics of Luo Jia are occupying various forums and interactive platforms.

Even at Mingjing University, with Luo Jia’s concert approaching, the forums are full of discussions about Luo Jia.

As for the once immensely popular Taihua Sword Immortal, it has lost its heat now.

In the age of the internet and information explosion, no hot topic can last more than seven days.

Gao Xuan still occupies the forums due to being the school’s hero and exceptionally handsome.

Even so, under Luo Jia’s overwhelming presence, the Taihua Sword Immortal has only dimmed and lost its light.

On September 19, two days before the concert, Luo Jia’s special flying ship landed in Mingjing City.

The large professional team was already prepared to welcome her.

When Luo Jia exited the terminal, a multitude of fans had already gathered at the entrance.

Fans holding banners, flags, and light screens completely blocked the terminal’s exit.

The dense crowd with various symbols formed a vast sea of light in the night, stretching endlessly before the eye.

"Queen, Queen..." someone began to chant Luo Jia’s nickname, sparking responses from countless others.

The thunderous chanting seemed to make the massive terminal tremble.

As the manager of Zhengqi Hall, Bai Yutang was responsible for all promotional affairs of the concert. Naturally, she came to greet Luo Jia.

At Luo Jia’s level of superstardom, she already existed in a unique class. Her identity was transcendent. Even the Chief Governor of Pegasus Star couldn’t compare with Luo Jia.

After chatting with Luo Jia for a few moments, Bai Yutang was already in awe of Luo Jia’s charisma.

Now she stood behind Luo Jia, witnessing countless fans welcoming her like subjects greeting their emperor.

Such a majestic aura overwhelmed even her.

Luo Jia took two steps forward and gently waved at the fans in front.

This simple gesture sent the fans into a frenzy, their cheers piercing the heavens.

At that moment, it seemed as if the entire world bowed at Luo Jia’s feet.

Even after getting into the flying car, Bai Yutang was still immersed in that awe-inspiring feeling, unable to extricate herself.

"The night view of Mingjing City is quite distinctive..."

Sitting opposite Bai Yutang, Luo Jia looked at the bustling and dazzling night view of Mingjing City through the window. Her ocean-blue eyes were filled with curiosity and exploration.

Bai Yutang smiled and said, "The nights in Mingjing City are always noisy and lively."

As she spoke, she noticed Luo Jia’s Little White Pig lying beside her, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.
